FAIRFIELD, CT (October 4, 2003) - The Sacred Heart women's soccer team got on the board just 25 seconds into the game and never looked back en route to a 2-0 Northeast Conference win over Mount St. Mary's Saturday morning. The win, the Pioneer's third-straight, improves Sacred Heart to 5-2-3 on the year and 3-0-0 in the NEC while the Mount falls to 4-7-0 and 1-3-0 in the conference.

The Pioneers used constant offensive pressure in the first half starting with Paula Pineda's (Vigo, Spain) fourth goal of the year just 25 seconds into play. Pineda took a feed from junior Ashleigh Bepko (Guilford, CT) and fired her shot past Naomi Campano from 15-yards for the what proved to be the eventual game-winner.
